An Environmental Center operates within the framework of the Information and Response Center. The Center serves as the focal point for information and response on environmental accidents at the time of their occurrence, including:

• Discharge of a hazardous material to the environment
• Leak from a container or moving truck
• Dispersal of sharp odors in the environment
• Leak of household gas from a central gas system
• Marine or coastal pollution
• Exceptional air pollution
• River or water source pollution
• Dumping of hazardous waste in the public domain
• Animal abuse
• Miscellaneous environmental accidents

The Environmental Center does not deal with cases of ongoing environmental degradation or environmental nuisances. These are handled by the Public Relations Unit in the Ministry of the Environment and by the regional offices of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

In case of suspected poisoning by a hazardous substance, arrange for immediate medical assistance. The telephone number of the National Institute for Information on Poisons in Haifa's Rambam Medical Center is: 972-4- 8529205.
